some weeks ago I discovered the artist Francoise de Felice and felt so inspired to paint this portrait.

Francoise de Felice work is romantic and light and soft. The faces are faded out, sometimes detailed, sometimes with looseness and gives them all a magical touch.

I'm in love with the whiteness and softness and used this in my work. I also loved especially this portrait and took it as a "model". She is from another era and I love the mystery of her.

For my background I used a stencil from Nathalie Kalbach and for the dress some ribbon. It is not done but for me it is also unfinished ready. ;-) You know, sometimes you can't work further and you have no explanations for.

I made a patchwork with paper scraps and I have a little tutorial for you how I created it.

1 - The first step is to emboss the stamps woman sihouette and friend phrase with black glint WOW embossing powder on patterned paper. You can also use any color you want. I wanted to highlight my phrase and motive therefor I used black.
2 - Then collect some leftovers from scrapbook paper in a matching color palette and arrange some scraps to a collage. Include the silhouette and the phrase.
3 - Adhere them with the E-Z Dots® Permanent - Refillable
4 - Use your sewing machine to frame the silhouette and the hole collage. Frame it.

I hope I could give you some inspiration to use WOW embossing powder. Maybe it is an idea of an christmas present. There are so much beautiful colors and great stamp sets, have a look on the Website of WOW.

I have two tags to share I decorated with cute little die-elements from Sizzix UK.

I used the Sizzix Thinlits Die - From Our Home. This die is one element of a circle with a winter scene, perfect for a card. This die is very beautiful in itself, but today I want to show what you can also create with it.

You can only use some elements of it, perhaps the sweet little house, the hearts and the christmas tree. And these cuties have the perfect size to decorate smaller projects like tags. As you can see you can also give the house and the tree a bit paint and some paperscraps behind the windows. I think these are perfect as a add on to christmas presents. :-)

I want to show you my Layout for September I
made for the Once Upon A Sketch
challenge. The task is to use the theme "woman or girls in our life" and to use
the sketch and you have still two weeks to create something for it!

today I want to share another two pages I made
for my 3 in 1: Scrapbooking, Art Journal and Project Life Album. I was so inspired by Melinda Tidwells work (she is a famous and great collage artist and has a awesome portfolio of beautiful, unique and stunning collages). So I made some collages with old paper. This is the benefit of such a album. I can scrap photos like in a scrapbooking album but I can also create art journal pages or artsy collages. ;-)

This old paper I got from my grandpa is a big big treasure and I horded every piece I could found. Eachpiece of paperisareminder ofhim, thereforethey also have agreatmeaningfor me.

I created this little book from paperscraps and sew it all together in the middle. I love how it turned out, it's so cute.

And here is another one.

I also created a little book, a bit larger and with more pages.

I decided (at this time) not to punch holes in them. I'm thinking
about to frame these and hang it on the wall. I'm not sure. What do you
think? Would youhangsomething like thisin your flat or house?
